Lediba Day 3

We had breakfast at the Hippo Lakes Lodge followed by a devotional lead by Shepard from Zimbabwe on Luke 22:31.

After a quick coffee break we gather for the morning session. This session dealt with the problem of the length of time that it takes to get materials translated to different languages. As its name implies, Teach Every Nation's goal is to teach all nations. In order to meet this goal, the time to translate materials into a specific language is an extreme obstacle. For example, it took 2 1/2 years to translate the first year material into Arabic. TEN is looking at any and all means to cut down the time it takes to translate material.

We then broke for lunch.

During lunch my luggage arrived!!!

After lunch, we headed back to Lediba. I unpacked some items, changed into clean clothes.

The Lediba Homestead is newly purchased by TEN and we are the first people to have stayed at the Homestead since their acquisition, we have been asked make a list of improvements and necessary items needed to make the property ready to receive paying guests.

New furniture had been purchased for the great room. It was arranged lining the walls. Susan and I rearranged the furniture in the great room into conservational areas.

We then headed out to meet another safari vehicle to take us up to Table Top Plateau. We arrived at a recently completed deck overlooking the valley, TEN campus, and the surrounding mountains. There are also 149 steps from the deck to a lower level which connects to a hiking path. Jenni and I promptly decended the stairs viewing the rock cliffs, vegetation, and vistas. By the time we climbed back up the stairs, the pastors had arrived. We had a brief devotional followed by a time of prayer. Everyone was asked to pray out loud in their native tongue. It brought tears to our eyes to hear all these men entreating God on behalf of their nations in their own language.

We then had dinner on the deck as we watched the a breathtaking sunset.

We all boarded the safari vehicles for our return to our lodging.

We arrived at the Lediba Homestead in the early evening so Jenni, Susan, and I took a survey of the homestead. We came up with a list of furniture, art work and improvements that should be completed to make the homestead ready for guests.

We had an early bedtime.Read more
